One call to empty the whole place

Moving out, selling, turning over a rental or just finally dealing with years of stuff: a full cleanout is a lot of trips to the curb and a lot of lifting. We send a crew and enough truck space to do it in one visit in most cases.

You point at what goes, and we do the rest. We sort as we load: usable furniture and household goods go to donation partners, recyclables are separated, and the rest goes to licensed disposal. If you're not on site, we can work from a list or a walk-through video.

Landlords and property managers use us for tenant turnovers and abandoned-unit cleanouts on tight schedules. We can provide a certificate of insurance for your building and before-and-after photos for your records.

Running a whole-home cleanout

We start with what stays, marked with tape or listed for us. The crew then works room by room, sorting donations and recycling into separate piles on the truck. Most apartments are empty in a few hours, and most houses in a day.

Sorting a full house

We sort every cleanout: usable goods go to donation partners, recyclables are separated, and only the rest goes to licensed transfer stations.

Getting the house ready

  1. Mark what stays. Tape or sticky notes on anything you're keeping avoids mistakes.
  2. Pull out valuables. Take documents, jewelry and keepsakes out first, and tell us if you're still looking for something.
  3. Check building rules. Reserve the elevator and loading area, and ask if the building needs our insurance certificate.

House cleanout FAQs

How long does a full house cleanout take?

Most apartments take a few hours and most houses one day. Very full homes can take two or three days. We'll give you an estimate with your quote.

Do I need to sort things first?

No. Just tell us what stays. We sort donations and recyclables as we load.

Can you do a cleanout if I live out of state?

Yes. Many customers arrange access with a realtor, super or lockbox, approve the quote from photos and pay by card.

Do you do landlord and tenant turnovers?

Yes, often on short notice. We can provide a certificate of insurance and before-and-after photos.

What about a hoarding situation?

See our emergency hoarding cleanup service, which is set up for deadlines, discretion and careful sorting.
